This live album places Spacemen 3 in a mystical, drug-induced world, giving the songs an additional looseness, energy, and otherworldly quality. The live versions of tracks from the debut album "Sound of Confusion" are rendered here in significantly superior versions. Among all they have released, "Live in Europe" is undoubtedly their best live album. We are faced with a sonic experience that goes beyond mere music. In this mind-altering epic, Jason and Sonic, accompanied by Will Carruthers and Jonny Mattock, shape a sonic journey that is more than a trip: it is a dizzying fall into the abyss of perception. The opening with "Rollercoaster" (in my opinion, their version surpasses the original) is not just an invitation but a portal to a realm of sounds overloaded with meaning and substance, as if the notes themselves merge with the ether. "Mary Anne", a track that roots itself in the band's beginnings, transports us to an atmosphere steeped in mystery and reminiscences of the past, as if the very vibrations of their instruments were etched in the grooves of collective memory. "Bo Diddley Jam", a rare gem of a unique performance, whispers secrets that only those who have journeyed into the sound abyss can understand. And then there is "Walkin With Jesus", a hymn to transcendence that unfolds among the synapses, an invitation to let oneself flow in the eternal stream of consciousness, while "Revolution" embodies the fury and impulse of a time that stirs and writhes under the weight of its own contradictions. This album, at the crossroads between the ecstasy of drugs and the purity of sonic experimentation, stands as a beacon in the stormy night of the human soul, a guide for those seeking answers in the dark folds of the inner universe. Spacemen 3 are not just musicians: they are visionaries, prophets of an era yet to come, catalysts of a revolution that knows no borders or limits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYMfJ4eoWyw
